11. Almafi-style brunch arrives in Singapore with Fortuna Terrazza
Fresh off being named one of Asia Pacific's Top 50 Best Pizzerias, the Fortuna Italian Trattoria team is spreading even more southern Italian sunshine on Craig Road with Fortuna Terrazza, a laid-back, Almafi-inspired cafe just a few doors from their flagship in Tanjong Pagar.
It is designed like a mini Mediterranean escape — think lemon trees, tiled archways and hand-painted ceramics.
The menu is playful rather than traditional: the Buongiorno toast is a thick juicy cut of bacon, folded eggs, and truffle mayonnaise served on a sourdough slice, while the pork cotoletta parmigiana is a base of grissini crumbled pork layered with marinated tomatoes, arugula salad and shaved parmigiano.
If you have a sweet tooth, try the Almafi Meringue that's filled with lemon curd lemon zest.
